KHACHATURYAN

The Aram Khachaturian House-Museum in Yerevan announced a new project in 2023 in collaboration with designer Vardoui Nazarian. The museum granted her access to archival posters from the ballets Spartacus, Gayane, and Happiness.


Vardoui Nazarian developed a capsule collection for the museum, working at the intersection of advertising art, fashion, and new technologies. The collection features garments made from unconventional materials, including milk-based fabrics.


The project aims to draw the attention of Vardoui Nazarian’s audience and the international press to Armenia — a small country that gave the world great cultural figures like Aram Khachaturian. Proceeds from the collection will go toward supporting the Aram Khachaturian House-Museum in Yerevan and preserving the legacy of the renowned Armenian composer.


The project — which Vardoui Nazarian has been developing for over two years — is scheduled to launch in September 2025 under the patronage of the Tuff Foundation.

Descending into the Genius Labyrinth: Deconstructing the Leonardo Codex
Transcending superficial interpretation, our initiative catalyzes a paradigm shift in the apprehension of Leonardo’s manoscritti. Employing a convergent optics framework that synthesizes non-linear hermeneutic interrogation with precision textual digital archaeology, we penetrate the palimpsest of meanings concealed within specular scripts and cryptographic patterning. This transcends mere transcription; it constitutes a systemic reconfiguration of his neural landscape’s apprehension. Our convergent methodology leverages adaptive algorithms for semantic cartography and temporal contextualization to unveil latent ontological structures and obscured epistemological vectors woven into the fabric of his annotations. We do not decode symbols—we calibrate access to the very architecture of da Vinci’s cognition, unlocking portals into previously unimaginable dimensions of his synthetic intellect, where each glyph becomes a nexus within a vast network of universal knowing. The outcome is not data, but a reconfigured paradigm for perceiving the Genius.
